Hmmm.  The field of fire for a left hander is centered on 9 to 12 o'clock.  I'm curious how you come to this conclusion.

OS is a lefty maybe he'll chime in.

I like my x-7.  because of the low profile hopper and the fact that it does not get in the way ot the sights of the gun because it is flat on one side. 

I dont agree with the whole lefties should play the right side because it is quicker to move your sights to the right then to the left.

I feel that left handed has an advantage as far as profile.

When a right hander tucks, the hopper will jut out the side(assuming they dont compensate), but a lefty the hopper is within the body.

I shoot left and have never had a problem other than Cockers.  In fact I'll go so far as to say that an a-5 is better for lefties.

Contrary to what many believe a left hander should play the right side of the field which forces right hander to shoot left handed against you.

You do know that Tippmann's and a few select Spyders amidst other extreme low ends have a feedneck that is not a centerfeed right?

ANSWER ONLY IF YOU ARE LEFT HANDED!!!!!!! (if your not left handed you will ruin the poll!)

i cant stand it when my hopper gets in my line of sight. I dont care what any one say's I HATE IT and i would actually spend alot of money on it to!! So come on all you leftys!! lets ban together and STAND UP for the left handed society. And for those of you left handers out their who dont really care if the hopper is on the right (i mean if you have really thought about it and it really does not matter to you), put zero on the poll and tell us why as long as you are a lefty!  

Understand my goal is to show if Tippmann should make left handed guns or not. it really does not matter if they put them on stock because i will get one some how!!!
